I am sure this has been asked here before so I am sorry for asking it again but what is the best/cheapest way to get nursing books. I just received my nursing book list for the summer and there are 16 books I need to get. For a grand total of $780 and this is just for the summer session. I have gone to different websites and ordered some of my books but I was wondering if there is one website that beats them all. It is a bit annoying to have to try and keep track as what I ordered from each website. Its down right confusing :angryfire .
Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. It seems tha campusi.com is the best one-stop website. So far I have managed to save over $160 compared to what I would have paid at my bookstore. And what's best is that only like 4-5 of those books are used (like-new). $160 might not be much but to me, every penny counts! :balloons:
I used http://www.mysimon.com to compare prices, and usually ended up buying book at http://www.half.com or http://www.ecampus.com. For half.com check the person's profile to see if they were good sellers. I've saved a lot of money using these two sites compared to the prices that were at my school's bookstore.
I've just recently purchased three books through Amazon.com to help with Med-Surg. One has already arrived (two days after purchase! Wow! That's fast!) and one that I ordered yesterday states that it's already been shipped. Ordered another this morning...I'm thinking along the lines of anything that will help me with critical thinking in these hard nursing tests.
You might be able to save money from buying from a Canadian online bookstore. I have ordered from these two before and although they do not deal only in medical texts they have a pretty good selection of nursing textbooks.
